I think the context makes it clear which one this is. The "soc" field in
struct tegra_smmu_group clearly refers to the group SoC data, whereas
the "soc" field in struct tegra_smmu refers to the SMMU SoC data.

This one might be okay to disambiguate, but even here I think this isn't
really necessary. It's already clear from the return value what's being
returned.

As another example, it's pretty evident that group->soc refers to the
group SoC data rather than the SMMU SoC data. The latter can be obtained
from group->smmu->soc, which again is enough context to make it clear
what this is.

So I don't think this makes things any clearer. It only makes the names
more redundant and awkward to write.
